Association between serum cholesterol and depression, aggression and suicidal ideation in war veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder: A cross-sectional study.

Aim: To investigate the relationship between total serum cholesterol and levels of depression, aggression, and suicidal ideations in war veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) without psychiatric comorbidity. Our results indicate that higher total serum cholesterol is associated with lower scores on HAM-D17, CABS, and SSI in patients with chronic PTSD.
